CHAPTER II.

Daddy Farney was dying. He lay
stretched on a cot of furs, his glazing
eyes fastened to the tiny window cov-
ered with oiled mooseskin as thouga
his last look would be on the sun-
light he had always loved with a
natural-born woodman’s devotion.
The peaceful expression very often
seen on the faces of those who die
from gunshot wounds cloaked the
rugged hardness of the fare of tite
man who had been a trapper for fifty
years, and more or less a defier and
violater of the law ever since he had
been able to set a trap.

In the rack of deer-prongs close
above his head rested his rifles, a
long muzzle-loading one and a short-
er repeater of modern design.

From the smokey ceiling, attached
to pegs driven into the log scantlings
hung haunches of dried venison and
sides of pork, Although the month
was May and the air outside balmy,
in the crude fireplace a hickory log
was blazing; its ruddy tongues send-
ing forth reflections that seemed to
spit vindictively at the subdued glow
of sunlight straining through the
parchment,

Seated on the foot of the cot, his
chin in his hands, was a boy of per-
haps nineteen summers, His face
was swarthy and thin, not unlike that
other face turned towards the win-
dow; his black eyes were sombre.

He stood up, .as the form on the
cot stirred with a groan, and lifted a
dipper of water from the bench,

“Thirsty, Dad?” he asked commis-
eratingly.

“Burnin’ up, Dannie, jest burnin’
up,” whispered the wounded man
feebly, “I guess I'll be passing ’em
through mighty quick, now.”

“Oh, Dad!” cried the boy, clench-
ing and unclenching his hands in an
agony of feeling. “You mustn't give
up; you mustn’t, do ye hear? You're
goin’ to get all right again, The
bleedin’s stopped an’ the fever’s ‘bout
gone, Willer'll be back here with
Dorkin soon, He'll know what to
do.”

“They'll have to get here
quick, I’m thinkin’, son,”
the father,

“Dad,” cried the boy, “who did it,
d'ye think?”

A faint smile flickered across the
greying face.

pretty
wheezed

“That’s hard to say, son,” he
answered, He gave a long sigh and
lay still, breathing in short, weak

gasps. “What do you ’spose is keep-
in’ ’em, son?” he whispered, “I got-
ta see Dorkin afore I cross over; I
jest gotta see him that’s all.”

The boy went to the door and
threw it open. A breath of fragrant,
wood-scented air entered and brushed

man.

“Adder-tongues,” he whispered, a
smile flickering across his lips, “ad-
der-tongues an’ vi'lets—the blue birds
will be twitterin’ an’ buildin’ — the
partridge will be strummin’ on the
ridges, rushes pokin’ their green no-
ses from the shallers. Gawd, oh,
Gawd, how I hate to leave it all!”

The boy heard and gave a shud-
dering voiceless sob, His eyes sought
the wide forest. “They’re comin’ up
the trail now, dad,” he cried. “They
will be here right soon.”

“Will they, son,” returned the fath-
er eagerly. “Well, then, you go down
an’ meet ’em’an’ hold Willer outside
thar with you awhile. I gotta see
Dorkin alone.”

“All right, Dad; another drink afore
I go?”

“No, nuthin’, nuthin’, ’t all, I’ve
got the taste of new leaves an’ wood-
blossoms in my mouth, Dannie.
Maybe it'll last ’till I go, It’s a heap
better’n water. You slip along an’
send Dorkin in here,”

He lay, with eyes closed, as the
woodsman entered. The sunlight had
slipped away from the glazed win-
dow; the fire had died to a smould-
ering heap, Outside, a freshening
breeze stirred the fir woods, as low
in the heavens spread a widening can-
opy of cloud. Dorkin knelt besides
the couch and lifted one of the old
man’s hands.

“Daddy Farney,” he said sympath-
etically, “this is hard luck.”

“It’s comin’ on to storm, ain't it,
Dorkin?” asked the trapper, opening
his eyes. “I fancy I hear them old
trees a-grievin’.”

“Yes, Daddy, it’s going to storm.”

“Wall, that’s all right, I allers
reckoned I'd like to pass out of this
wild world I know so well was cryin’.
It's better than havin’ to trek across
when the stun was on the leaves an’
the birds were singin’.”

Dorkin was silent.

“Let me have a look at the wound,
Daddy,” he said at length; “maybe I
can do something.”

“Look all ye like, but ye can’t do
nuthin’? whispered the trapper.

Dorkin gently unwrapped the clum-
sy bandage from about the wound,
which lay low down behind the
shoulder. The heavy soft-nosed bul-
let had gone clean through, leaving a
gaping hole. One glance was suffic-
ient for him to realize that there was
no earthly help for the trapper, Gent-
ly he replaced the bandage, and sat
looking down at the ashing face be-
fore him.

The trapper opened his eyes and
fastened them upon Dorkin’s face.
“I want to speak to you ’bout Willer,”
he said. “I know you're a square
man, an’ when I go I want you to
look arter her. Will ye do it?”

He asked the question with a dir-
ectness that had always been a strong
characteristic of him.

“Surely,” answered Dorkin quickly,
“if you wish it, Daddy.”

“Wall, I do wish it. TI wish it
more’n anything else in the world,
Dorkin. Go over thar and lift up
that bearskin in the corner, You'll
find a trapdoor an’ under that door
you'll find a box. Jast bring it here.”

Farney sank back, utterly exhaust-
ed, and when Dorkin returned from
executing the order, his mind was
wandering. But upon the pressure
of the woodsman’s cool hand on the
hot forehead, the dying man drifted
partly back into the present.

“You got it?” he whispered.

“Yes, Daddy, I have it.

“Tt's hern,” said the trapper; “it’s
Willer‘s. I aimed to tell her about
it soon. Now you'll have to tell her.
That box holds what will prove the
truth of what I’m going to tell you
An thar’s some trinkets in that
But I

now.
wuth a lot o’ money, Dorkin,
must tell ye—”

He paused through sheer weakness,
and for a long time lay looking up at
the woodsman, “Dorkin,” he said,
finally. “I’ve been a right bad man
in my day, one way an’ another—l’ve
stole from the traps of other trap-
pers, played hell with the rangers,
fooled the government, done lots of
things I ain’t proud of; you know all
that?”

Dorkin was silent.

THE EXPHESS, EMPRESS

Locomotive Needs

Scotswood Works Largest and Best
Equipped in British Empire

London, England.—The world-wide
shortage of locomotives and rolling
stock which has resulted from five
years of warfare is an obstacle of the
first magnitude which must be sur-
mounted before international trans-
port and trade relations can be re-
sumed on anything like normal con-
ditions,

One of the largest enginecring
firms, whilst war was still procecding
foresaw that an acute shortage of this
kind was to be expected when peace
came, The directors of this firm
therefore carefully and methodically
laid their plans, with a view to ensur-
ing that this country should at any
rate receive its fair share of the vast
contracts for locomotives which after
the war would undoubtedly have to be
placed.

These carefully prepared arrange-
ments have now materialized, and at
the present time the Armstrong-
Whitworth company is making a re-
markable bid for the premier position
amongst locomotive builders through-
out the world, The erstwhile ammu-
nition works at Scotswood on Tyne-
side were allocated for the construc-
tion of locomotives. Immediately af-
ter the armistice they commenced
their reorganization in this direction,
with a forceful thoroughness which
has brought a splendid success.

Within the short space of a year
the-vast ammunition plant has been
swept away, new plant installed, and
the first Armstrong Whitworth loco-
motive—a powerful 0-8-0 type for the

North Eastern Railway — was com-
pleted™ and delivered from their
works. Today the Scotswood loco-

motive works are the largest and

best equipped works of their kind in
the British Empire. Their present
output capacity is over 400 heavy
main line engines per year.

It is understood, however, that the
support which the new Armstrong en-
terprise has reccived from all parts
of the world is such that considera-
tion is now being given to new and
important extensions in regard to the
works, The result of such proposed
extensions would be to make the
Scotswood works probably the most
important centre in the world for the
construction of locomotives. Even
under present conditions, the com-
pany anticipates that by the summer
of 1920, the output will have increased
to not less than 45 locomotives per
week,

One Great Essential
-Toa Woman's Health
Is Her Nerves

—)

Nature intended women to be
strong, healthy and happy as the day
is long, instead of being sick and
wretched. But how can any woman
be healthy and happy when the whole
nervous system is unstrung. The
trouble is they pay more attention to
their social and household duties than
they do to their health, Is it any
wonder then that they. become irrit-
able and nervous, have hot flushes, |
faint and dizzy spells, smothering and |
sinking spells, become weak and-ner-|
yous, and everything in life becomes
dark and gloomy.

Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills are
the very remedy that nervous, tired-
out, weary women need to restore}
them to the blessings of good health. |

Mrs. P. H. Ryan, Sand Point, N.S.,|
writes: “I have been a great sufferer |
from nerve troubles. I was so weak
and nervous I could not sleep at night,
and my appetite ~was very poor. I)
could not walk across the floor with-4
out trembling. I had hot flushes and}
fainting spells. When I was on my
second box of Milburn’s Heart and;
Nerve Pills. I began to feel better and
kept on until I had_used six boxes,
when_I felt like a different person, I
am never without them in the house
and recommend them to all who suffer
with their nerves.”

Chinese Adopting English

An explorer who recently returned
from China, states that. wherever he
went he discovered that the natives
were beginning to regard the Eng-
lish people with greater favor than
was usual in the past, In Chinese
schools for some years past the Ar-
abic numerals have been in use. The
figures 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, are
infinitely easier to learn than the
cumbersome Chinese figures and as
both are taught in the schools, it
stands to reason that the young John
Chinaman are going to favor the eas-
ier method. The Braille system is
in use in China for the blind, who,
owing to the prevalence of leprosy,
are common in that country. >

A Pill That is Prized—There have
been many pills put upon, the market
and pressed upon public attention, but
none has endured so long or met with
so much favor as Parmelee’s Vegeta-
ble Pills. Widespread use of them
has attested their great value, and
they need-no further advertisement
than this. Having firmly established
themselves in public esteem, they
now rank without a peer in the list
of standard vegetable preparations.

Antique Grain Will Not Grow

The stories about the germination
of wheat and other cereals, found
wrapped with ancient Egyptian mum-
mies, are declared to be fictitious by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, French tests show that
grain more than a few years old will
not germinate. German tests indicate
that when seeds are kept under ideal
conditions, wheat, barley and oats
may germinate up to eight or ten
years, but few if any grains, are alive
after twenty years.

GIRLS! DRAW A
MOIST CLOTH
THROUGH HAIR

ee

Let “Danderine” save yout
hair and double
its beauty

Oh, girls, such an abundance of
thick, heavy, invigorated hair; a per-
fect mass of wavy, silky hair, glorious-
ly fluffy, bright and so easy to man-
age. F

Just moisten a cloth with a little
“Danderine” and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; this magically re-
moves all dirt, excess oil and grease,
but your hair is not left brittle, dry,
stringy or faded, but charmingly soft,
with glossy golden gleams and tender
lights, The youthful glints, tints and
color are again in your hair.

“Danderine”’ is a- tonic-beautifier.
Besides doubling the beauty of the
hait at once, it checks dandruff and
stops falling hair. Get delightful
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
or toilet counter and use it as a dres-
sing and invigorator as told on the
bottle.

Hints on Summer Breaking} Great Shipping Growth

June or July the Best Months For |
Breaking on the Prairie |

In dry, open prairie section do your
breaking in June or early in July. The
run-off is saved, and the sod more}
thoroughly rotted.

Turn the furrows over as flat as |
possible so as to exclude the air.

Leave no cut and cover patches. If
the plow is thrown out, back up or |
turn around if necessary to pick the |
furrow up again.

When it is not intended to backset, |
plow at least four or five inches deep.
This leaves some soil free from sod |
at the surface to work into a seed bed.

Follow the breaking plow with the}
packer as soon as possible. The pack- |
er attachment to the plow does good |
work. This excludes the air and pre- |
vents evaporation,

Follow the packer with the disc
harrow as soon as the operation will
not turn over the sod. Right after
the first rain following the packing is
a good time to do the discing.

Harrow or disc occasionally
throughout the balance of the season
to preserve the mulch and to keep;

Commerce on Great Lakes Has In-
creased Immensely

In the course of an article in the

View on the. proposed new deep

waterway from the Great Lakes te

| the sea, interesting statistics are pree

sented respecting the growth of ship-
ping on these fresh: water bodies,

In 1850, the records show, the en-
tire volume of freight on the Great
Lakes amounted to only about 25,00@
tons, carried on by a few small vese
sels, In 1916 there were 37,852 pase
sages of vessels through the Detroit
River, with a registered tonnage ot
more than 76,000,000, cary 100,000,006

tons of freight of an estimated value

of more than $1,000,000,000.

In 1917 and 1918, owing to causes
arising out of the war, this enormous
water commerce was slightly reduced,
but already there is reason to believe
that it will be immensely increased
during the next few years, The ton-
nage is already many times greater
than that which passes through the
Suez Canal. i

The Raising of Sheep

Efforts Being Made to Increase the
Industry in Canada

In introducing the estimates for his
department to the house of commons,
the Hon, Dr, Tolmie, dominion min-
ister of agriculture, pointed out that
the fact that in Australia there are
no fewer than 80,000,000 sheep, in the
United States, 40,000,000; in Great
Britain, 27,000,000 and in Canada only
3,500,000. As shown in the Agricul-
tural Gazette of Canada, for May, ef-
forts are being made in all the pro-
vices to remedy this state of things.
That is to say, encouragement is be-
ing given to the raising of sheep in
a varicty of ways—by pure bred rams
being distributed, or sold on easy
terms, by the holding of competitions,
at which generous prizes are given
for the best ewes and for the best
flocks, by obtaining the highest price
for wool through the departments,
and through the Canadian Co-Oper-
ative Wool Growers’ Association, by
organized sheep sales, and, as in On-
tario in particular, by placing flocks
on a share basis. Amended legisla-
tion has also been passed for the pro-
tection of sheep from dogs, As a
sample of the good work that is be-
ing performed it might be mentioned
that in Saskatchewan in the last four
years, the amount of wool consigned
to the co-operative branch of the pro-
vincial department of agriculture ins
creased from 179 consignments, only
weighing 69,404 pounds, which
| the average price realized was 1734
j cents, to 916 consignments, weighing
394,068 pounds, at an average price
;of 614% cents per pound. The article |

Duripg recent years the sheep in-

Boy Hanged by Friends

Were Reproducing Film Drama They
Had Seen

A tragedy which recently occurred
in the city of Perpignan, in the Py-
rences region, has again raised the
question in France of the ill influence
of moving pictures on children.

A few boys between the ages of
10 and 12 years were playing together
when one of them suggested that
they should play moving pictures,
They selected for their reproduction
the hanging scene they had recently
seen in a film drama. One of the
little boys played the part of the man
who was to be lynched. He stood on

a chair andthe noose was slipped
around his neck, The chair fell from
under his feet and he remained

swinging, in the air. A woman, alarm-
ed at the cries of the frightened chil-
dren, rushed to the rescue, but when
she cut the rope and took thé child
down, he was dead.

Nine thousand five hundred acres
of forest are being cut down every
day of the year simply for pulp for

UITERLY HELPLESS
FROM ST. VITUS DANCE

Sufferer Restored to Health
Through the Use of Dr. Wil-

liams’ Pink Pills.

St. Vitus Dance is a disease of the
nerves brought on by a morbid con-
dition of the blood, It is a common
disease with children, and attacks
girls more frequently than boys, — Ir-
ritability is frequently one of the first
signs noted. The child frets, it is
quarrelsome, and docs not sleep well.
The jerky movements that charact-
erize the disease come a little later.
The: patient becomes pale, lanquid
and often constipated. The limbs and

The

sometimes the whole body jerks spas-|

modically, and in severe cases the
power of speech is affected. Such a
child should not be allowed to study,
but should be kept quiet, given a nu-
tritious diet, remain out of doors as
much as possible, and above all things
given a course of Dr, Williams Pink
Pills to build up the blood and restore
nerves, Without this
trouble may become
the patient a life-long
sufferer, ‘The value of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills in cases of this kind is
shown by the following statement by
Mr. Frank J. Scriven, Acton, Ont.,
who says: “In January, 1917, when

helpless, being unable to even hold a
spoon to feed herself. For a time she
lost the power of speech almost en-
tirely and only with great difficulty
made herself understood, The twitch-
ing of her muscles was so bad it was
painful to sce her, After a long time
and taking a lot of medicine,
scemed to improve, But she did not
seem to get along as she ought to.
In November, 1917, we removed to

we decided to try Dr. Williams Pink
Pills, and see what they would do
for her, She took them regularly ac-
cording to directions, and after taking

| Several boxes there was a decided im-

provement. After a further use of
the pills she is now as healthy a girl
as you would wish to see. She is fat,
with a fine, healthy color and_ is
strong and lively. The neighbors
to whom she is well known remark
on the wonderful change in her ap-
pearartee since taking Dr, Williams
Pink Pills. Both her mother and
myself are convinced that the pills
have done her a world of good as she
is now far healthier than we at one
time thought she ever would be.”

Killing of Weeds
Tn Brush Areas

Committee on Fieldcrop Experiments
For Alberta Makes Recom-
mendationg

The provincial committee on field-
crop experiments for Alberta, of
which Prof. G. H. Cutler, of the unl-
versity is chairman, makes the fol-
lowing recommendations for summer-
fallowing in brush areas:

“In those districts where precipi=
tation is adequate, summerfallowing
is not necessary as a means of con-
serving moisture, but may be employ-
ed in freeing the land from weeds.
Even in so doing on our heavy black
soils the crop following the summer-
fallow grows too rank and matures
too late to give best results. Under
these conditions it invariably lodges
and fills poorly, If a good crop ro-
tation is followed, including a grass
crop or green crop, the summerfal-
low, except in special cases may be
eliminated, Where the fallow must
be used some of the undesirable ef-
fects may be lessened by not plow-
ing so deep, or so early in June, or

by pasturing the fallow by seeding
to oats or rape in July.”

Rotating Sheep Pastures

| Lambs Especially Find New Grass
More Easily Digested

Sheep cannot reasonably be expect
ed to remain healthy and free from
parasites peculiar to sheep if they
are kept year after year on the same
permanent pasture, and especially if
the pastures are low and lacking in
mineral matters. Sheep deplete soil
of needed minerals, In time they fail
to find needed supplies and suffer ac-
cordingly, That is true of any kind
of animal. They also taint permanent
pastures with the parasites peculiar to
their kind.

For best results, therefore, it is im-
perative that sheep have frequent
changes of pasture; that a “fresh bite”
| be had, that grass may not be too
closely bitten, that worms therefore
will be less likely to infest them and
that they may have a surer supply
of mineral matters as well as organic
matters in their feed. Lambs espec-
ially must have new seeding each
spring. On the sheep-tainted and
contaminated pastures they infest
themselves with worms, On new
| grass they escape worms and besides
that, find such grass more palatable
and easily masticated and digested.
The other lesson is that rams, so far
as possible, always should come from
a “hardier” district that that in which
the ewes have been bred. The same
line of blood may be maintained but
the ram used annually should, if pos-
| sible, be one raised outside of the
{immediate district in which the ewes
| have been produced, and from a dis-
trict that is better adapted and more
| healthy for sheep.

blows, though extremely light in
weight, have been invented by a Brit-
ish shipyard employee, and are in-
tended to be worn by workmen whose
duties expose them to danger from
falling objects. Chemicals are em-
ployed to harden the material, with-
out adding to its weight. Several
styles have been made, the lightest
weighing about seven ounces, and
others slightly more. In a recent
test a one pound bolt was dropped
on one of them from a height of 40
feet, with the result that a barely per-

Canada Needs More Workers

With present prospects for a bum-
per crop in Western Canada this year
—the brightest since 1914 says the
Winnipeg Free Bress—with the rail-
way companies all clamoring for
thousands of unskilled laborers to be
used in construction work, coupled
with the announcement that if they
are not obtainable hundreds of miles
of badly needed branch lines cannot
be built; with such a shortage of |
coal predicted that Western Canada
will be forced to rely entircly upon
the production from its own mines,
and with extensive-road-building pro-
grams being deferred because the;

necessary labor cannot be obtained,
the question of immigration to this
country once again looms up as one}
of paramount importance. |

During the war immigration was!
practically at a standstill, and, in ad-|
dition, the energies of all people were}
diverted to war effort. As a con-}|
sequence development work and con-
struction programs of all kinds were

halted. Now, after an interregum of
six years, there is an enormous
ainount of work to be done in order
to “catch up.” There may be a suffi-

ciency of skilled labor, but there is
admittedly a great shortage of un-
skilled workers. Yet there must be
unskilled workers in order that the
skilled workers may be kept employ-
ed.

No doubt Canada could obtain all
the foreign labor it requires if it let
down the immigration bars, and threw
the doors wide open to all and sun-
dry who cared to come, But Can-
adians have made up their minds not
to repeat the mistakes of the past.
The industrious, law-abiding, physic-
ally fit and morally clean of all the
white races will be welcomed, but no
longer will the offscourings of Eur-
ope, the mentally deficient, the mor-
ally leperous, the physically unclean
and weak, be allowed to enter Canada
to pollute this country, carry infec-
tion to others, and lowered the stand-
ard of our people.

The difficulty of securing the right
type of immigrants, the only kind we
are prepared to receive and welcome,
is increased by the fact that while
the war-impoverished countries of}
Europe are willing to allow the mis- |
fits and degenerates of their people}
to emigrate, they are anxious to re-
tain the strong and sound in order,
to re-establish all the productive en-
terprises of their own lands, Can-
ada's problem of securing immigrants
of the right and only acceptable type)
is, therefore, no easy one,

According to United States govern-
ment immigration officials only lack}
of ships is keeping back hundreds of |
thousands of prospective European}
immigrants from flocking to that}
country notwithstanding the post-war |

|

The Chicago
Tribune declares that “nearly six
thousand aliens in many European
countries have applied for permission
to cmigrate to America,” and The
Literary Digest says that for more
than a month immigrants have been
arriving in the United States at the
cate of ten thousand weekly.

It will be seen, therefore, that not-
witlistanding the proscriptions now

passport restrictions,

enforced by the United States and
Canada on undesirables, and the eff-
orts of European countries to retain
those of their own people who are
of the desirable immigrant type, wor-
kers can be obtained if the govern-
ment immigration officials bestir
themselves. In particular, Canada
should strive to secure new settlers
and real workers from the British
Isles and the United States,

Other countries are active and are
offering inducements to the immig-
rants, We read in a United States
paper:

“Numbers of Italians, Spaniards,
and French are going to Argentina,
where there are many of these nation-
alities already located. Free land is
being given to the newscomers.

“Brazil is not only paying passage
for immigrants, but takes care of
them on arrival, and transports them
free to their destination,

“Chile is inducing immigration by
giving one hundred acres and imple-
ments to each immigrant,

“New Zealand has arranged with
the shipping companies for reduced
fares for desirable immigrants.”

So, Canada will have many com-
petitors in the effort to secure des-
irable settlers and workers, Yet no
student of present day conditions in
this country can question the need of
additional population in this country.
Without it, people now here must car-
ry unduly heavy burdens of taxation,
while at the same time going without
conveniences and services to which
they are entitled and need in order to
prosper as they should,

Governments can do nmich, but ev-
ery individual can assist by making
the newcomer welcome and assisting
him in every possible way to “make
good,” and thereby become a satis-
fied and contented citizen, while the
lot of the hired man or woman should
be made as pleasant as it is in the
power of the employer to make it.

Dread of Asthma makes countless
thousands miserable. Night after
night the attacks return and even
when brief respite is given the mind
is still in torment from continual an-
ticipation, Dr. J, D. Kellogg’s Asth-
ma Remedy changes all this. Relief
comes, and at once, while future at-
tacks are warded off, leaving the af-
flicted one in a state of peace and hap-
piness he once believed he could
never enjoy. Inexpensive and sold
almost everywhere,

MR. C. ROY PRAISES DODD'S
KIDNEY PILLS

He States That They Relieved His
Son of Bed Wetting and Himself
of Bladder Trouble. — Ask Your
Neikupers About Dodd’s Kidney
Pills,

Thivierge Office, Bonaventure Co.,
Que., June 21st.—(Special). — That
Dodd's Kidney Pills have been suc-
cessfully used by both old and young
as a remedy for kidney ills is again
shown by the statement of Mr. Cle-
ment Roy, of this place.

“I am glad to be able to state,” Mr.
Roy says, “that Dodd’s Kidney Pills

| relieved my little boy of bed wetting.

They also helped my bladder trouble.
I cannot say too much in praise of
Dodd’s Kidney Pills.”

Dodd’s Kidney Pills are a kidney
remedy pure and simple. But bladder
and urinary troubles come as a result
of weak or diseased kidneys. The
natural way to treat such trouble is
to strengthen or help the kidneys,

Mr. Roy acted on this principle
when he used Dodd’s Kidney Pills for
his own and his son’s troubles. The
satisfaction he got is voiced by his
statement,

If you have not used them yourself,
ask your neighbors if Dodd's Kidney
Pills are not the remedy for kidney
ills.

would prefer to embrace the real
thing.

Germany Delivers Coal

Also Sends Livestock to France And
Belgium

Up to May 30, German deliveries
of coal to France under the treaty of
Versailles, amounted to 4,686,000 tons
it has been officially announced by
the reparations committee, Of this
total 405,000 tons were given to Lux-
embourg, Italy received 316,000 tons,
and Belgium 98,000 tons in the same
period,

Germany up to the end of May,
the announcement shows, also had
delivered to France 6,547 horses, 40,-
720 head of cattle, 67,477 sheep and
7,575 goats.

German deliveries to Belgium in
this period were 3,116 horses, 43,489
head of cattle, 32,644 sheep, . 6,140
goats and 28,339 fowl,

Similarity in Food Prices

Cost in Ottawa Slightly Higher Than

In London, England
,A remarkable similarity in the cost
of groceries in England and in Can-
ada is revealed in a comparison of a
budget of houschold staples in the
two countries, made within the last
month, The figures are given out by
a Canadian official, Pricing a score
of staples, ranging from bread to
custard powder, the whole supply
costs about a dollar more in Ottawa
than in London, England, Bread is
4 cents higher in Canada; sugar is ten
cents per pound higher, and jam and
marmalade range from ten cents to
18 cents higher here. But in Eng-
land bacon, eggs, lard, milk, sausages,
Worcester sauce, rice, oranges and
dried fruits are all higher in price.
Eggs were $1 a dozen, and _ butter
about $1.10 a pound for good grade.
Both these prices are due for a sharp
decrease in London, however. Vege-
tables are still much cheaper in Eng-
land than in Canada, and_ butcher
meats average from 30 to 40 cents
a pound, Coal is about $1.25 a ton
cheaper in England.

Watches Cleaned With Bread

No Other Substance Can be Used
With Success
Perhaps the most novel use to

which bread is put may be seen in
some of the great watch factories,
where more than 40 loaves of fresh
bread are, or were before the war,
sometimes used each day. From ear-
jiest times in the history of watch-
making it has been the custom to
reduce fresh bread to the form of
dough. This dough is used for re-
moving oil and chips that naturally
adhere in the course of manufacture
to pieces as small as the parts of a
watch, There are many parts of a
watch, by the way, that are so small
as to be barely visible to the naked
eye, The oil is absorbed by this
dough, and the chips stick to it, and
there is no other known . substance
which can be used as a wiper with-
out leaving some of its particles at-
tached to the thing wiped. This ac-
counts for the continued use of bread
dough in the watchmaking history.
Teachers’ Household Science Course

The University of Saskatchewan
has recommended the establishment
during the academic year 1920-21 of
a one-year course in houschold sci-
ence for teachers in the provincial
schools, the course to include both
foods and textiles as well as related
subjects, including chemistry,

Livestock Often
Shrink in Transit

Can be Avolded by Proper Precau-
tions in Shipping

Investigation ‘by the Colorado Ag-
ricultural College is beginning to
show that shrinkage of live stock
when shipped to market can be very
greatly reduced, The most important
thing is a comfortable car and not
much crowding. Thenext thing is to
have the animals well fed and con-
tented when they are loaded and until
they are sold at the terminal market,
In other words, plenty of feed and
water and comfortable quarters are
most important,

“Some farmers,” says R. W. Clark,
live stock specialist for that institu-
tion, “ship regularly with little or no
shrinkage, while others at all times
have enormous shrinkage.”

Trouble Brewing

Trouble is brewing in connection
with the taking over of German air-
ships by the Entente as provided for
in the Peace Treaty, according to
the Friedrichshaven correspondent of
the Berlin Lokal Anzciger, The cor-
respondent states that the staffs of
the Zeppelin works refuse to prepare
airships for surrender to the Entente
unless guaranteed that two big pas-
senger airships shall be left and that
no destruction of the workshops or
their installations is contemplated.

Getting A Start in the West;

Choosing the Best Time to Come to
Western Canada

Those who contemplate coming to
western Canada interested in
knowing when is the best time to}
come to this country. Experience |
has shown that the best results are
obtainable from land that has been |
broken during the summer one “77
and allowed to stand and put into
crop the following season, The best
time for breaking raw land in west- |
ern Canada is during the months of
June and July, Then the grass is
long and the sod turned over at this
time properly disintegrates, thus en-

are |

suring an excellent seed bed for
planting the following spring.
Of course, considerable land in

Western Canada is broken and put
into crop the same season, Flax or
oats is then generally sown because
these grins ripen more quickly than
wheat, but sometimes wheat is sown
on spring-broken land, Often very
good crops are harvested from such
land, so that the land begins to pay
for itself the first season, but it is
doubtful if the results in the long run
are as good as when the sod has been
broken when the grass is fresh and
long the previous summer,

From the above it is seen that from
the middle of May to the end of |
July is the very best time to take up
land in Western Canada in order to
prepare it for crop the following year.
This is especially true this year, when
the enormous amount of moisture has
placed the land in an ideal condition
for breaking.

England in Second

Anglo-Saxon Next to French Tongue
Employed in Moslem

The Germans have failed in their
effort to stamp their culture upon the
Turk and, instead, the English lan-

guage is beginning to rank next to
French in the commercial life of the
Levant,

In the war period German language
schools were opened throughout Con-
stantinople, in which German officers
were required to teach and German
papers were circulated by all possible
means, But the results were almost
nil. Most of the schools were free
and failed to attract better classes,
and French was too strongly en-
trenched as the language of trade and
social intercourse to be displaced.

Since the armistice Italians have
been working industrially to popular-
ize their language and literature. Ital-
ian officers are now teaching schools
as the Germans did. But their schools
are well attended only in the poorer
parts of the city.

Greater Part of
Loss from Grain Smut
Can be Prevented

Suggestions for treating cereals to
control smut are given by W. P,
Fraser, who has been carrying on re-
search work for the Dominion gov-
ernment at the University of Saskat-
chewan at Saskatoon for the past
year. Mr. Fraser estimates that the
total loss from grain smut in Canada
each year exceeds $20,000,000, and the
greater part-of this loss could be eas-
ily prevented by treating the seed
gtain in the spring.

The most:serious loss in Canada is
caused by the loose smut or wheat,
the stinking smut or bunt of wheat,
the loose and covered smut of oats,
and the loose and covered smuts. of
barley. -

“All of these smuts,” said Mr. Fra.
scr, “except the loose smut of wheat
and the loose smut of barley can be
easily controlled by seed treatment
with a solution of formaldehyde
It is
the safest and most effective treat-
ment for use on the farm, It is easily
applied and the cost is low. The ob-
ject of the treatment is to kill the
smut spores that may be lodged on
the seed and thus prevent the smut
being carried over to the season's
crop. For this reason it is important

- that the solution reaches every grain
apr of the seed treated.

<4

“The sprinkling method is common-
ly used for the treatment of the secd
grain. One pound of formaldehyde
is mixed with forty gallons of water.
While a stronger solution may be
used, it should not exceed the
strength’ of one pint of formaldehyde
to'30 gallons of water. Too strong a
solution may seriously injure the ger-
mination of ‘he seed. The grain to
be treated may be placed in a wag-
gon box or on a clean floor and
sprinkled with this solution, using ab-
out one gallon to each bushel of grain
and shovelling over the grain at the
same time, ’so each grain may become
wet. The pile of grain should then
be covered with canvas or sacks for
two hours or more until the solution
has had time to kill the spoor of the
smut. The grain should then be
spread out to dry. Seeding should not
be long delayed after treatment.

“Instead of the sprinkling, the dip-
ping method may be used. It is more

nvenient for small quantities of
seed. The grain to be treated is to
be placed in coarse sacks through

which the solution can readily pass
and is then immersed in a barrel of
farmaldehyde soltuion (1 pound for-
malin to 40 imperial gallons of water
for five minutes). The sack should be
moved about so that the solution
will penetrate thoroughly, The grain
is then removed and allowed to drain
and then piled in a convenient place
and covered ag in the sprinkling me-
thod,

“In the case of wheat affected with
stinking smut it is best to pour the
grain in a box or cask of the solution
and stir until the smutted kernels
have risen to the top. The smut ball
should be skimmed off. The solution
cannot penetrate into the spoor balls,

“Care must be taken that the treat-
ed grain does not become reinfected
from containers that have held smut-
ted grain, The spores or sacks can
be killed by soaking them in the-so-
lution used for treating the seed and
boxes and be sprinkled with the so-
lution.

“Another method of seed treatment
has recently been introduced for the
treatment of oats. In this method a
strong solution of formaldehyde is
used: one pint of formaldehyde is
mixed with a pint of water and the
grain is sprayed with this solution
while it is being shovelled and then
covered for a few hours as in the
sprinkling method, Only a quart ol
the solution is used for each 50 bush-
els of grain. Experiments have shown
that this method is safe and effective
for oats if properly used, and has the
advantage of not wetting the grain.
It must be used with care, as too
much of the solution will seriously
injure the germination of the seed,
The solution must be sprayed on the
grain—not sprinkled. It is unsafe to
use this solution for treating other
grains, especially wheat, as it often
seriously injures the germination and
does not always prevent smut.

“There are some good smut mach-
ines on the market. The best of these
treat the seed in a satisfactory man-
ner, They can be used profitably on
the larger farms.

“If the grain is sown when it is
still damp and swollen, the seeder or
drill should be set to make allowance
for the swelling. Usaully one-half

three-quarters of a bushel of oats will
be required than of dry grain.

Future of Alberta’s
Dairy Industry

Ranching District Is Gradually Giving
Way to the Dairy Farmer

Southern Alberta has never figured

much in the dairying industry of the

province, though this was thirty
years ago the centre of the greatest
ranching country in Canada. But

with the advent of irrigation and the
consequent cultivation of alfalfa,
which has proved so successful, a
new era i8 opening out before the
dairy man, Alfalfa means cheap
milk and plenty of it. Then there is
ensilage. The irrigated farm is prov-
ing to be especially adapted to grow-
ing ensilage, and the development of
the sunflower as an ensilage food
promises great things. The possibil-
ity of growing thirty or forty tons
of ensilage to the acre on Southern
Alberta's irrigated lands is not long
going to escape the notice of the far-
mer who wants to make dairying the
basis of his farming operations, The
fact that southern Alberta winters are
generally mild adds to the attraction
of this district for the dairy man.

Greut Fire Loss

United States and Canada Have Un-
enviable Record

In 1918 the fire loss of the United
States for each person of the popu-
lation was about $3 per year, For
Canada it was nearly $4. For 1919 the
United States loss is slightly less than
$3, and that for Canada is $2.90, Tak-
en together, United States and Can-
ada still lead the world, and the con-
trast between the fire waste of the
North American Continent and that
of Europe is marked. The average
annual fire loss of the leading coun-
tries of Europe before the war was
between 30 and 35 cents per person
per annum, Consequently the pres-
ent fire waste of the North American
continent is about ‘ten time that of
the principal nations of Europe before
the war, When the enormous loss of

life and property through forest fires
is added to this total, the destruction

is appalling.

Okanagan Crop
Prospects Are Bright

Grain and Fruits Give Promise of A

Heavy Yield

Prospects of the biggest crop in
the history of the Okanagan valley
in British Columbia are held out by
Hon. E. D. Barrow, minister of agri-
culture, who has just returned pet
that district,

“The season has been late, but the
crop prospects are eceptionally good.
The growers are optimistic, and a
larger acreage will be under cultiva-
tion this year,” says Mr, Barrow.

“Crops of wheat in the northern
Okanagan were in splendid condition.
In fact, I never saw better. Alfalfa
crops are good, too, while in the
south the fruit orchards are more
plentiful and in stronger bearing this
year,’

“There has been a little late frost,
but it did no serious damage” Where
patches of tomatoes were affected,
the growers were in time to replant.
In the Vernon and Kelowna districts
there are from 12,000 to 14,000 acres
planted in onions and these, also, are
doing remarkably well.

“All through the Okanagan district
there iswa shortage of labor, At Ke-
lowna, the government labor agent
told me he could place 400 men if he
could get them, He had one notice
up calling for 100 men to dig ditches
at $5 a day.”

Whereever he went, said the min-
ister of agriculture, he heard the same
cry for men, “No man willing to
work need be looking for a job today,
so long as he is willing to go and
work in the country,”

Cultivation
Prevents Frost

Warm Air Penetrates Soil That is
Worked Down

A hand-book of information about
the province, recently issued by auth-
ority of the Minister of Agriculture of
Alberta, has the following explanation
of the occurence of frosts,

In the taming of new land frosts
commonly occur, and reports of
frosts are more or less common in
countries where settlement is taking
place, These frosts are due to the
coolness or low témperature of close-
ly packed, undisturbed virgin soil. It
takes three or four years of cropping
and cultivation to get virgin soil pro-
perly worked down into a fine state
of tilth.- When it is worked down
warm air penetrates it, but if it has
not been broken, the warm air does
not get in. The lying of stagnant
water is another cause of frost as is
commonly seen in dead, low hollows.
Frosts occur in conditions of this kind
while warm high land is not subject
to frost. When land is first plowed
the dead water’ level represented in
the hard surface is let down six or
seven inches and the land becomes
drier and warmer. What frost means
‘in summer is that the heat of the land
radiates to a point that leaves the air
at the surface of the ground too cold
for the safety of plants, After the
soil is open and the warmth gets well
into the soil this supply of warmth
is not so rapidly exhausted as it is
when the depth to which air pene-
trates is shallow.

Frosts in ‘Alberta are not the re-
sult of unfavorable climate, but are
incident to pioneer conditions. It is
a matter of authentic history that
Selkirk failed for years in succession
to mature grain crops in the Red Riv-
er Settlement, and at one time it was
thought that the colony would have
to move. This was in the country
that is now the best grain-producing
country in the.world, The land had
not been opened and warmed. There
is probably something likewise in the
wealth of fertility in the virgin soil
that prolongs the growing period. Be-
sides getting rid of dead water and
admitting air to the land the danger
of frost is likewise reduced by the
removal of brush or bluffs and tim-
ber which hold moisture late in the
season and feed it into the crop.
Early seeding and the use of early
varieties likewise have their effect.
The danger of damage from frosts
may be met by the art of the culti-
vator except in cases of gross- un-
reasonable mistakes by the weather-
man, who are entirely outside the con-
trol of the farmer,

Sunflower Silage

Dairy Cows Should be Fed Something
More Palatable

Sunflower silage for cattle in any
district where corn, clovér, vetch,
peas or oats do well, is not recom-

mended by Mr. L. Stevenson, of the
\ British Columbia Experimental Sta-
tion on Vancouver Island. He holds
that to produce milk profitably some-
thing more palatable than the sun-
flower must be offered to the dairy
cow, while admitting that this silage
can serve a useful purpose in the dry
cold districts where cattle are main-
tained, rather than fed, for milk pur-
poses,

Describing the result of his experi-
ences at the experimental station, Mr.
Stevenson says:

“Will the cow eat it? Yes; a hun-
gry cow will eat anything that she
can chew, but she will not produce
very much milk on an unpalatable
feed, At the experimental station for
Vancouver Island, an acre of sunflow-
er was grown for ensilage in 1919,
The cost per acre was the same as for
corn, The yield green weight was
slightly larger than for corn, The
sunflowers were ensiled when about
five percent of the heads had reached
the black seed stage. Considerable
juice exuded from the silo after fil-
ling, indicating the high water con-
tent of the sunflower. The high wat-
er content is responsible for much of
the excess weight when yields are
quoted in contrast with corn. The
settling after being placed in the silo
was much greater than with corn,
giving a total yicld of ensilage that
was considerably less, than that se-
cured from an equal weight of corn)
at time of ensiling.

“The sunflower silage had a very
fair aroma, was free from mold and
had apparently made and kept well.
When offered to Jersey cattle that
has been used to good corn ensilage,
they refused to eat the sunflower sil-
lage, After two weeks of coaxing and
at the expense of a decline in the milk

yield, the cows would consume about

Going to the
Root of Disease

Definite Plan Has Been Framed to
Combat Disease in
Animals
Wide-extended usefulness in prev-
enting disease on its human side is
closely allied with the movement, just
started, to control and eventually to
up-root disease in Canadian farm
stock, Indeed, it may turn out to be

the most benefiicial part of the plan
now under way to combat disease in
livestock by the co-ordinated efforts
of Dominion and provincial govern-
fents, farmers and packers,

The public has, within the last few
years, been awakened to the enorm-
ous loss of human Hfe, shown to be
a greater mortality than that of war,
resulting from tubercular disease, Yet
the transmission of tuberculosis from
farm products to humans has never
received from the public a thousandth
part of the attention it demands.
Physicians have fought the disease in
every thinkable way except one, Cli-
nics have been opened in large cen-
tres throughout the world; expensive
sanatoria have been .built; preventa-
tive treatment has been widely taught
through nursing institutes and even
the public schools. None of these,
however, has struck so radically at
the root of the cause of human dis-
ease—the presence of tuberculosis in
domestic livestock—as the new move-
ment to eradicate disease from am-
ong farm animals, If for this feature
of national health and the preserva-
tion of human life alone the move-
ment claims the whole-hearted sup-
port of all who have a better, wider
and more humanitarian hope for the
tass of the Canadian people,

An encouraging beginning has been
made, A definite plan of work has
been framed to co-ordinate the effort
to combat disease in animals, It will
be plain to farmers and stockmen that
better prices will follow the raising
of better stock—better because heal-
thier, more robust animals will feed
well and make heavier weights in re-
turn for the expenditure of feed and
labor.

Much could be done through direct
aid by farmers and stockmen them-
selves, Everyone knows that the
“government can’t do it all.” In
South Dakota, where a similar plan
is under way, it was recognized that
one health officer could not inspect
a large number of animals in many
townships, A committee was there-
fore appointed by stockmen and far-
mers among themselves. Each com-
mittee-man bécame a deputy health
officer. Community mectings were
held, People generally began to talk
of better, disease-free cattle, and in
all there was a spirit of general im-
provement. Good results are being
reported and the work is. going vig-
orously and continuously forward,

Our fight is especially against tub-
erculosis in cattle. A farmer often
wonders why his steers and heifers

not thrive.
probably reveal the cause. The Do-
minion Minister of Agriculture, Dr. S.
F, Tolmie, in the house of commons
on. May 14, stated that the intention
was to establish small centres of ac-
credited disease-free herds. By this
means, the Health of Animals branch
hoped to eliminate tuberculosis from
Dominion pure-breds, But the work
would not be confined to pure-bred
stock if present proposals are carried
out,

Hog cholera seems to have been
more effectively restricted here than
in the United States, Latest returns
show that only one half of one per-
cent of our hogs are touched with this
disease. The cleansing of our live
stock also includes the eradication of
other diseases, Contagious abortion
and sterility have to be overcome,
matters of health in animals which
will have far-reaching results, When
it is remembered that over one bil-
lion dollars are invested in Dominion
livestock, it will be plain that if a
saving of only one percent can be ef-
fected by prevention of disease, it re-
presents a value of $10,000,000 to our
farmers;

The committee recently appointed,
including representatives of the Gov-
ernment departments, livestock pro-
ducers and packing firms, is beginning
to cope with the problem, Its mem-
bers will need the sympathetic sup-
port of every enlightened farmer and
producer of livestock, if real success
is to be registered. It should not be
impossible to have, throughout the
Dominion, the self-same spirit shown
as in South Dakota, Farmers and
breeders especially by helping in this
campaign would only be working dir-
ectly for their own benefit,

thirds the strength of a horse, a mule

Wheat Improvement
Encouraged by the Seed _
Growers’ Association.

When the Canadian seed Growers’
Association was organized in 1904 it
adopted a system of selection suited
to the peculiarities of leading farm
crops and aiming at their improve-
ment. The wheat crop naturally oc-
cupied first attention, At that time
the varieties grown commonly
throughout the country were more or
less mixed, In the West, Red Fife
was the leading sort, while certain
cross-bred varieties such as Preston
were receiving considerable attention
owing to their early ripening ability.
In Red Fife there were commonly
found certain aberrant types believed
to be of inferior quality and whose
eradication was therefore sought, On
the other hand, it was believed that
the system of selection adopted by
the Association, namely mass-selec-
tion, would have a beneficial effect.
That such improvement actually
took place there is ample evidence.
We have today certain strains of
Red Fife, for example,* which grow-
ers refuse to abandon, as they find
that no varietics with which their se-
lected strain’ has been compared is
able to outyield the latter on their
particular farms. As pure seed be-
came more and more available and
as these important strains became
fully appreciated the production of
wheat naturally increased and became
extended to a considerable extent.

As the scientific breeding and se-
lection of wheat became developed at
experimental stations in this and
other countries, a quicker means of
obtaining purity of type came into
operation. It was discovered that
plants like wheat, which in the main
are sclf-fertilized, will reproduce its
characteristics relatively true from
generation to generation when a sin-
gle head is used as the starting
point. The so-called “head row”
method of selection at experimental
stations has therefore become univ-
ersally practised, with the result that
members of the Association have been
able to start in with relatively pure
strains instead of having te ovourify
them by the slower process of mass-
selection, The chief problem of the
members of the Association growing
seed at present revolves itself large-
ly into that of maintaining the purity
of the strain and of propagating the
same sovas to be able to supply con-
siderable quantites of seed wheat
which may go out to the trade in

sealed sacks as what is known as
“Registered” seed.

While wheat is normally self-fer-
tilizing, yet it is now known that

cross-fertilization may occasionally
take place. This fact provides an op:
portunity for the individual grower ti
make a still further advance by isol

‘
Fife for example, was isolated and
developed by David Fife, of Peter-
borough county, Ontario, Our lead-
ing autumn wheat, namely Dawson’s
Golden Chaff, was developed by a
Mr, Dawson living in Waterloo coun-
ty, Ontario. The Kitchener wheat, .
which is becoming quite popular, es-
pecially in Southwestern Saskatche-
wan, where moisture is usually at a
premium, was produced by Mr. Seag-
er Wheeler, of Rosthern, Saskatche-
wan, being selected out of the well-
known Marquis wheat. A somewhat
similar selection, registered under the
name of Kichener-D, has also been
selected out of Marquis by Mr. F, J.
Dash of Hillesden, Sask. An early
strain of Red Fife wheat, which in
some parts of the west has given
good satisfaction was selected by a
Mr. Smith, of Saskatoon, Sask. The
Marquis variety, which has been such
an enormous boon to Western Can-
ada, was produced at the central ex-
perimental farm, Ottawa, is_ being
grown and re-selected by a large
number of members of the Associa-
tion at present. This variety has
not reproduced absolutely true, as
one might expect in view of its orig-
in, being a cross-bred sort. In_the
ordinary field of Marquis one “can
find a greater or lesser number of
chaffed forms bearing bearded forms,
chaffed forms bearing long awns, or
velvet chaffed forms and many other
which might be mentioned. The or-
dinary system of mass-selection, hav-
ing failed to rid the variety of these
forms, a number of growers have in-
troduced the head-row system. Pro-
bably the best work along this line
has been done by Mr. W. Lang, of In-
dian Head, Sask., who each year con-
ducts a special head row plot with a
view to isolating not only the pure
strains but superior strains for pro-
pagation by the Angus McKay Farm
Seed Company, of which he is a
member. Formerly much difficulty
was experienced by the continued re-
appearance of the aberrant types
mentioned above. Nowadays, how-
ever, thanks to Mr, Lang’s patient
effort, the company is able to prop-
agate on a very large scale, a pure
and productive strain”

The value of the work being per-
formed with wheat, especially in
Western Canada, by the large num-
ber of members now operating, is
making itself felt very widely. It is
extending rapidly and will probably
develop still more rapidly.

With the great care which mem-
bers have come to devote to the se-
lection of their seed, has naturally
come a greater consideration of prop-
cr methods of soil cultivation. It
hes been shown that the proper

date at which it matures, This fact,
together with the fact that there are

World’s Deepest Mines

Lake Superior Preparing to Sink to
10,000 Feet

The Lake Superior region soon will
have, in addition to the biggest mines
in the world, the deepest also, At
present St. John del Rey, in Brazil, is
the deepest in operation, with its
shaft down to about 6,000 feet. The
Calumet and Hecla and Tamarack
copper mines on Keewenaw penin-
sula, Lake Superior, are now prepar-
ing to sink to 10,000 feet. At the
C. & H. they will put hoisting en-
gines on the 8,500 foot level, where
ore will be brought from the greater
depths and hoisted in one lift to the
surface; at Tamarack the lift will be
direct the entire two miles, All im-
portant details have been arranged
and construction will start at once.
At St. John Del Rey the temperature
of the rock at 6,00 feet is 108 degrees
F., and work can be carried on only
by keeping currents of cool air cir-
culating through the working, but
in the Lake Superior region it is ex-
pected that temperatures will be so
modified by the volume of cold water
of the lake affecting the rock masses,
that men can work at two miles un-
derground with no excessive discom-
comfort. Both C. & H, and Tamar-
ack are now down to more than one
mile,

If all the gold in the world were
melted into ingots it might be con-
tained in a room 23 feet square and

Collected Fifteen Years’ Pay

Swede Goes to South Africa to Be-
come Rancher

A man who spoke with a proncun-
ced Swedish accent appeared recently
at the U. S. Income tax office in St.
Louis and exhibited two new leather
cases which contained $9,000 in trav-
ellers’ checks, He said that he had
just had his only pay day in fifteen
years and had heard that an income
tax was due, It appears that during
the fifteen years he was employed on
a ranch in Washington under an
agreement with his employer for wa-
ges plus board and clothes, During
the fifteen years “he went to town”
only twice a year and drew no money,
he said, because his employer had
bought everything for him. When
last month he decided to go to South
America to become a rancher in his
own name his employer accompanied
him to town and bought the checks
for him. He was told that no tax was
due from him,

Canada’s Sugar Imports

For the year ending March 3lst,
over one billion pounds of raw sugar,
valued at more than $68,000,000, and
over one million pounds of refined
sugar valued at $114,190, were import-
ed into Canada for consumption, The
total duty on these consignments
amounted to nearly fourteen and @
half million dollars,
